From Al Del Greco to Joe Nedney to Gary Anderson to Rob Bironas, we've been spoiled.

Offenses come and defenses go but Titans fans learned to expect security and production at one position: place-kicker.

That's why the current state of the Titans is a point of concern – maybe an extra point of concern. When Maikon Bonani misfired badly on a conversion attempt in the first preseason game, it underscored worries about the Titans' kicking game.

Granted, the kick came from 33 yards out due to an experimental rule in the preseason and the snap and placement were not clean. The degree of difficulty was greater due to the heavy rain.

Even so, there is a shadow of a doubt at place-kicker.

Bonani and Travis Coons are competing for the spot. Both have strong legs, particularly Bonani. But both have left something to be desired during training camp. Bonani has struggled with accuracy. Coons has been more consistent but it remains to be seen if he can get his kickoffs deep enough.

In the rainy preseason opener, the Titans did not attempt a field goal. That should change in the final three preseason games.

Frankly, I have my doubts either Bonani or Coons can deliver. The Titans could very well be in the market for a veteran kicker.

Where, you ask, is Bironas? Why is he no longer a Titan?

Apparently, the Titans' personnel division believed Bironas was overpriced at $2.875 million plus a $250,000 roster bonus this year. He was cut after last season.
